Winter Look Book/Recent Buys #2

Here is the second part of my winter look book/haul/recent buys posts - this is the last one and this post contains some sale items from Asos, Primark and items that were sent for review (as always this does not affect my opinions of the brand/product, for more information about PR and my disclaimer, click here).

Outfit one: As mentioned in my previous winter look book post, this coat from the Asos sale (sadly it is not in the sale any more - it was reduced to £52 when I order but it is back up to £70). I paired it with a basic casual outfit, as all of my outfits are! 

Top: Newlook / Coat: Asos / Jeans: Topshop / Boots: Primark 

Outfit two: The jacket was kindly sent to me by Sammy Dress, click here to see my review. I have added a basic primark £5 skater dress and my amazing *black Oroblu tight (from Luxury legs) with it. 

Dress: Primark / Jacket: *Sammy Dress / Tights: *Oroblu / Heels: Newlook

Outfit three: Primark have really been on the ball when it comes to knitwear recently, I picked up this cute french style jumper a couple of weeks ago and I love it!

Jumper: Primark / Jeans: Dorothy Perkins / Boots: La Redoute

Winter Look book/Recent Buys #1

I have been buying a few clothing bits recently in the January sales so I thought I would show you what I would wear them with and combine outfits together to make a winter look book of sorts. You might not be able to get some of the items now as I have bought them over the past two/three weeks. 

Outfit one: I love this snood, I was kindly sent it from Powder to review (click here to read my review) - the snood is so cosy and comfy! I think it goes well with a basic casual outfit to add a bit of colour. It is the *Powder Tessa Snood in Lavender (£20). 

Top: Newlook / Jacket: Promod / Jeans: Dorothy Perkins / Boots: Asos / Snood/scarf: *Powder. 

Outfit two: I cannot resist a sale, especially a sale dress at only £5! Gotta love the Christmas/January sales. I paired my amazing sale bargain dress with my new *Oroblu warm micro fleeced tights from Luxury Legs which I adore - they are the nicest, warmest tights ever! To see my review of the tights, click here.

Jacket: Promod / Dress: Dorothy Perkins / Tights: *Oroblu (on Luxury Legs) / Heels: Newlook.

Outfit three: Now this outfit contains one of my favourite sale buys ever - I bought this longline tweed (esque) coat from the Asos sale and I am in love! I thought it might be too big on my petite frame but I think it looks great! I have paired it with a plain black skater dress from Primark (one of the £5 dresses) and again my amazing *Oroblu micro fleeced tights.

Dress: Primark / Coat: Asos (sale - well not anymore sorry! here) / Tights: Oroblu on Luxury Legs / My heels were bought from Yoox a while ago.

There is the first part of my winter look book/recent buys/haul! What have you been buying in the sales? What do you think of the outfits? x

- January Wish List -

My first wish list of 2014, I love the sales this year (although some were disappointing) and there are some items I am drooling over. This wish list is a mix of beauty, clothing and hair products. A couple of products are in the sale but the others are full price sadly. 

1. TheBalm Mary Lou-manizer Highlighter (£15, Feelunique): I have wanted this highlighter ever since Estee from Essie Button (youtube and blog) mentioned it. It looks freakin' gorgeous and I love powder highlighters. As I am typing this it is currently out of stock but I have signed up to get a notification when it is back in stock - I need it! 

2. Babyliss Curl Secret (£120, Asda): I first wanted the Babyliss Pro curl but this one is the cheaper version, although it is still really expensive, in my opinion. I have watched so many demos and reviews of this product, everyone seems to be raving about it. I really want it, although it appears to be out of stock pretty much everywhere and Babyliss have been warning people (on their facebook page) about fakes of this product. 

3. Bershka BSK Hooded Wool Coat (£39.99, sale): If you didn't already know, I have quite a few obsessions such as candles, makeup, skater dresses, mugs, lattes and coats...it is a problem. I keep telling myself that I can't have enough coats. This one from Bershka is just divine, it is everything I love in a coat. Currently it is out of stock in what I think is my size. Has anyone bought from Bershka before, if so what are the sizes like? Sadly I don't think this is available online now, it may be in stores. 

4. Smashbox Full Exposure Palette (£36): Do I need another neutral palette, no. Do I really really want this one, yes! It looks like the Lorac pro palette that I can't get my hands on. The top row consists of shimmery shades and the bottom row are all matte - amazing! I may have to treat myself (yet again) before it goes out of stock...

5. Rodial Glam Balm Lip Balm (£10.50, sale, Asos): I have mentioned this product in a few posts such as monthly favourites and my lip balm post. I have a mini tube that I received in a set and I love it. It is more like a treatment balm than just a regular lip balm. 

There is my January wish list *drools on keyboard*. What is on your wish list for January? x
